Cinder Dust
by
BILL BREWER
With the Shortridge basketball
season officially over, the thoughts
of sports fans turn to track, the
oldest of all known branches of
athletics, In early Greece young
men were encouraged to build up
their bodies and run ln marathons.
Nowdays young men are taught to
jump, run, hurdle, and do extraordinary feats that would have
made the ancients turn green with
envy. Track has not been as important a sport In the past two
years but the team this season
promises to be a corker. We have
a fine coach in Don R. Knight, who
was once a track man himself and
understands the' runners viewpoint
as well as the coach's side. This
year's squad will be well-balanced
and will boast several Individual performers who should make the spectators look up and take notice.
Future Holders of State Records
Perhaps one of the most promising recruits on the track squad this
year ls John Carson, a sophomore,
who has heen jumping flve feet six
consistently in early season workouts. The state record is six feet
three, aid John's best attempt is
flve feet eight, only seven Inches
short. Most meets are. won with
leaps of five-four, so it looks good.
Bill McCormick, a junior, also has
been showing up fine in the high
jump, clearing the bar at five-five
consis.ontly. With a strong trio of
mllers, some dandy half-mllers, and
a whlz-bang crew of quarter-mllers
things are picking up In the distances. Jack Dawson, Malcolm McDermott, and Tom Anderson, In
the mile; Bob Cline, Emmett Stallions, and Jim Fraley, in the half;
and Jim Simmons, Bob Anderson,
and Emmett Stallions in the 440,
will provide plenty of punch. Jack
Brown, Jim Simmons, Emory Schlake, Bill Beaning, Whitten Lingeman, Walter Thienes, Fred Rash,
and Jim Gipe, will have what it
takes in the dashes. For the fleld
events there ls the stellar Jock
Brown who con high jump, broad
jump, and shot put, with more than
usual ability. Tom Brooks, pole
vaulter; Rehm, Adams, and DeMars
in the shotput; Lingeman ln the
broad jump and Inman, pole vaulter;
show more than usual ability. With
this crew, Coach Knight hopes to
develop one of the strongest track
squads In years.

"I just love Indianapolis and I
adore Hoosier hospitality," said Bebe
Daniels of screen,stage, and radio
fame.
Although Miss Daniels ls very apt

for the stage. "Stage work offers
so many more opportunities to learn
of those about you," said Miss Daniels. "It gives one a chance to do
bigger and better things."
When portraying screen roles she
brought out the fact that she preferred comedies to all other forms of
the cinema, but playing a close
second in her list of favorites, Mlss
Daniels ranks the musicals.

TO SHORTRIDGE
Your fighting team lost a fighting game
To a five that deserved to win,
You gave your best to turn the tide
But failed when the count came in.
It takes me back to other years
When you fought so well but failed
When the final gun dashed all your hopes
Just as victory you hailed.
You played the champs in thirty-one
And fought with heart and soul
Only to see in that final rush
Great DeJernet's winning goal.
In thirty-three with your Gimbel Jim
You rallied to tie the score
But overtime brought a Greencastle win.
For you — one heartbreak more.
And so again you have fought and lost
As victory seemed at hand.
So a toast to your teams so stanch at heart,
A toast to your fighting band.
Your turn will come In the years ahead,
Some day you wlll win the crown,
For you've shown in every bitter test
A courage that will not down.
— P. C. L.

tracing tb« history «.f the Tri-
State Debates.)
The second five year debate series
cup having been won and duly
tucked away, our school entered into a new five year contract with
our two ancient rivals. The history
of this series Is almost a replica of
the two preceding it, in many ways.
In 1930 Curtis Plopper, Fred Vedder, Elbert Gilliom, and Warren
Shearer won a 3-0 victory over
Louisville's negative team in the upholding proposition "that instalment
buying is detrimental to the best
interests of the American people."
Our negative team of John Engleke,
J. Don Miller, Warman Welliver, and
William Bossart lost a close decision
to Walnut Hills.
In 1931 Shortridge again won at
home 2-1 and lost away 2-1. Curtis
